Faithful Reflections: The Night Before Glory
Waiting with Wonder on Christmas Eve

Story
On Christmas Eve, the world holds its breath in anticipation. Long ago, on a night just like this, the world waited in darkness—and heaven prepared to deliver the Light. Mary and Joseph were likely weary, the shepherds unaware, and the world unchanged. Yet in the quiet, God was about to change everything. Christmas Eve is not just a night of waiting—it’s a night of holy wonder, when hope touches earth and heaven draws near.

Insight
Waiting can be hard, but it is often sacred. Christmas Eve reminds us that God does His most powerful work in the stillness. Before the angels sang and the star lit the sky, there was waiting—and then there was glory. Tonight, we pause not just for tradition, but to remember that the Savior has come… and He is coming again. May our hearts be filled with awe and expectation.

Luke 2:11 declares:
"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord."

Even in the silence, God is moving.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for this sacred night.
As I reflect on the gift of Your Son, fill my heart with wonder, peace, and renewed hope.
Help me to slow down and worship You in the stillness, just as the shepherds did long ago.
Let Christmas begin not just around me, but within me.
Amen.

Daily Verse
"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned."
—Isaiah 9:2
